Pre/Post Placement Survey

Presenter

Presentation Notes

To help you get the most from your Internship experience – we have developed a survey that I will email to your @uowmail email address with the attached link. Open the link and complete the survey. Research shows when you reflect on your experience both before and after a work placement – it’s extremely beneficial. This Survey focuses on how your values, interests, rewards and motives can support or challenge your career plans or intentions. Also it invites you to assess yourself against the UOW graduate qualities and the national standards for employability skills. The same survey will be sent to you at the end of session – the same questions, but you have a chance to consider your responses in light of your experience. This will be the focus for the last lecture.
